When was the last time you got a tetanus shot?
Years ago, I slashed a finger open on a piece of buried glass. I now wear gloves in the garden and keep my tetanus up to date.

1. About 3 years ago.
I was in for my regular blood work and mentioned gardening to the Doc. Since I hadn't had a tetanus shot in a few years he gave me one right away.

3. oh I guess about 10-15 years ago...
I was supposed to get one for school about 6 years ago but my doctors office was out.. Something to the effect of there was only one major manufacturer of tetanus vacc and they were out, or had a bad batch, or something... I remember I ended up getting a waiver from my doc to file with school...


Thanks for the reminding me to get one next time I goto the doctor...

4. When I tripped over a speed bump, broke my arm and cut my face.
Now stop laughing. It just about time for another.

5. About 6 years ago, after a riding accident.
I got them more regularly as a kid. I was always barefoot, and had fairly regular puncture wounds.
